I agree with those of you that say he's annoying. I mean Bella should buy him a leash for christ sake!It wasn't right for him to think that because he liked her first that he could claim her or try to at least.If I had a guy-friend like that I'd tell him to back off.

hm, never thought of it that way. Normal ones like Mike do seem dull compared to Edward and Jake.

There are times throughout reading the first book I wanted to smack that boy silly for going after Bella. It didn't seem to clue in that she wasn't into him. No wonder she referred to him as a dog.
